Sungard wins BC award
Keith Tilley, managing director UK & executive vice president Europe, SunGard Availability Services, said: “We're delighted to be recognised as the Business Continuity Service Provider of the Year for an unparalleled sixth time.
"The business continuity industry continues to evolve and adapt to changing risks and social trends and it has come a long way since the days when it focused purely on IT disaster recovery and backup. The recent emergence of swine flu and the growing trend towards cloud computing are just two of the next challenges businesses will need to adapt their business continuity strategies to address, especially as the convergence of business continuity into other areas of ensuring availability – such as managed services – continues.
"In today's uncertain economic climate, as organisations look to make cuts in different areas of their business, business continuity is one area that should remain bullet-proof. Research has shown that customers are increasingly likely to switch providers if they don't experience a good service, so if an organisation does not have the resilience to continue operating following a business disruption, it is putting both short term profits and long term business survival at risk."
